Okay, long holiday weekend, cloudy and rainy forecast for tomorrow, Sunday, and Monday. Sounds like the perfect time to begin a new series. I’ve heard nothing but good things about it, so I’m pumped to see what the hype is about.

First: Yes, it’s based on the book by James Clavell. And I t’s not historical fact, he based it on historical events and historical figures. Second: I’m soooo glad you liked it. It just gets better too.

Great stuff, thanks. It makes me want to binge the whole show right away once again lol, but im gonna wait for your eps. When i was thinking about it before i started, i remembered it was good but was thinking "is it that exciting? its all politics and stuff..." and then when that music was kicking in at the start i was like "oh yea.... now i remember :D" Looking forward to the rest of it, thanks again :)

This show is deep. Lots of levels to unpack with this one.

Its a very loose fictional history. And yeah, Toranaga is loosely based on Tokugawa Ieyasu. I love traveling and going to other countries, so the sort of historical cultural depiction in this show I loved. I dont know if its 100% accurate, but it feels like a pretty realistic look at the habits and culture from that time period, even if the history of the events doesnt line up perfectly with the history that actually happened. If I'm explaining that correctly?

This show is absolutely incredible and the acting is... well, you're in for a real treat! Even though - as others have said - the story is fictional, they went above and beyond to make everything in the show (costumes, hair, buildings etc.) as accurate to the time it took place as possible! There is an official podcast that I can HIGHLY recommend you listen to, where they go into how they made everything!

Awesome. Will definitely be watching your reaction to this series.

Glad you liked it! It’s an amazing show, this is my 2nd watch. A Japanese crest is called a mon (broad term) or kamon (family crest). My grandfather’s is 4 diamonds in a circle (Maru ni Sumitate Yotsume kamon) and my grandmother’s is a paulownia (kiri kamon). I’ve always been fascinated by mons and their usage.

The line that Yabushige said to his nephew, Omi. "Why tell a dead man the future?" Remember that line. Write it down if you have to. Keep it next to you when you watch. I promise it'll pay off.

Enjoyed your reaction. Stellar TV. Agree the politics and religion are interesting. Lady Mariko is beautiful. Looking forward to episode 2. Hiroyuki Sanada (Lord Toranaga) = good actor - won the Golden Globe for Best Performance by Male Actor in Television Series (Drama) for his role in Shōgun. Shōgun won the Golden Globe for Best Television Series – Drama. Hiroyuki Sanada stars in The Last Samurai (2003) (w/Tom Cruise).

By the way, I meant to say this earlier, but you picking up the kamon (clan crest) *and* remembering that it was Tokugawa Ieyasu is very impressive.
